Build a report that explains scope, visible conditions, evidence, limitations, significance and next steps. This guide keeps the visible record, required verification and responsible follow-up together.
Build a report that explains scope, visible conditions, evidence, limitations, significance and next steps. Start with the exact inspection purpose and location, document only what the submitted evidence supports, and keep measurements, testing or professional determinations clearly marked for field review.
Identify the room, elevation or system before describing the condition.
Capture a context photo and a closer evidence photo when access is safe.
Separate what is visible from concealed conditions, testing and specialist conclusions.
Record inaccessible areas, limitations and the follow-up recommended to the client.
Check the applicable state home-inspector rules and standard of practice.

Use a short finding title, identify the exact location and place the strongest evidence beside the written observation. Explain the recommended next step in practical order: verify, make safe when needed, correct the confirmed condition and retain completion evidence.
Record the jurisdiction, adopted edition, contract, company procedure or customer-supplied requirement that applies. A source link helps the reviewer locate the material; it does not prove that every requirement applies to the photographed condition.
A photo review is not a substitute for the required on-site home inspection. A qualified or licensed inspector must verify systems, access, operation and applicable state requirements.
Confirm the current edition, jurisdiction and applicability before relying on a requirement.
